Yeah, I think that’s a good idea. Most people’s early creative work will not be their best work, so don’t have high expectations at the beginning. I would focus on learning and having fun while you write.
i would say that the biggest bottleneck is actually thinking up what issue to write about, i do not want it to be about a problem that gains too much attention, neither do i want it to be about something that is far too obscure.
that being said, i think it would be decent idea to write about issues talked about in the EA community like AI or animal cruelty even though increasing amounts of EAs are piling on to these issues.
i have written about things that aren’t talked about as much in the EA community such as the value of cryptocurrency and how it could eliviate poverty and bypass corrupt governments. these topics would be more interesting to cover on a personal level since there are not many EAs talking about them and it could give me a chance to not only learn more about the topic but also approach it from a utilitarian perspective—even if there are more pressing problems.

thanks for the comment!
